Gallery only seems to display properly after the whole page is loaded

Hey guys, I’ve recently acquired and installed the newspaper theme and I stumbled upon a little problem.

As you guys may see, in this post: http://mapadelondres.org/hampstead-e-hampstead-heath/

I’m using the theme’s gallery option for the first time under the heading “Veja a galeria de fotos” and the thing is, until the page is fully loaded, the gallery makes a huge mess with the page’s layout.

Is there anything I could make to prevent this from happening? it is indeed a heavy post full of pictures, but I don’t think this is how it’s supposed to behave.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

This could happen if you use speed booster plugin and lots of plugins or your server response time is high. The speed booster plugin moves js/css resource files to the footer so js scripts or css stylesheets will load later therefore creating this unstyled gallery while the style file is loading. Please make sure that you use the latest version of Speed Booster plugin(3.2)

Please try this without any other plugins.
– leave just the VC and the speed booster plugin active
– make sure you empty all caches
– purge files if you use CDN host

Thanks!

Hey Alin,

I’ve tried disabling other plugins, updating my speed booster plugin and emptying all my caches and that is still happening.

Is there any way I could force that specific style/javascript to be the first thing the page loads? And if yes, how would I do that and what files I should look for?

Thanks a lot! 🙂

Hi,

The gallery waits for the script to load however this should not behave like this. We have this on our attention and we will try to find a solution until version 5 update.

You can work around this by using this custom css in theme panel > custom css section:

.post_galery_slide_1 {
overflow: hidden;
}

Thais will hide the images until the gallery script loads.

Thanks

Thanks for your attention, Lucian.

I’ve applied the workaround you suggested and it’s certainly much better now 🙂
